A small, implantable sheet of firm material that is attached with screws to fractured craniofacial bone (including the maxilla and/or mandible), to bridge and stabilize the fracture gap, and shield the site from stress as the bone heals; the material cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes [includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre]. The device may also be used for craniofacial reconstructive procedures (e.g., to treat congenital malformations), endobrow fixation, or craniotomy flap fixation.
